Heroes, Saints, and Legends

The Foundation of Wesley Woods is proud to play an important role in Emory University’s on-going work to find ways to treat, cure, or prevent Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases.  Since its inception, our annual Heroes, Saints, and Legends Awards Dinner and Gala has raised more than $5 million to fund innovative research to support these critical efforts.  We are privileged to be working with physicians and scientists who are world leaders in their fields, and we are asking you to partner with us to harness their talents to make these debilitating diseases a thing of the past.

Please join us at the St. Regis on Thursday, May 5, 2011 as we honor Mr. Pat Epps, founder of Epps Aviation, and Mr. Sam Massell, former Atlanta mayor and President of the Buckhead Coalition. Decatur native Coach Frank Broyles, legendary Coach and Athletic Director of the University of Arkansas, will accept the Key to a Cure Award as recognition of his tireless efforts in helping the caregivers of those with Alzheimer’s Disease.
